Choose from our two flexible packages to craft your ideal Beijing day trip — Private Transfer Only (driver service) or Private Transfer + Professional Guide. Your driver (or driver plus guide) will pick you up directly from your downtown Beijing hotel. Hop aboard your private, air-conditioned vehicle (sized from 5-seater to 55-seater based on your group number, with ample space for everyone) for the 1.5-hour drive to the Mutianyu Great Wall. Enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks on the way, and use the multi-language translator provided in the car for smooth communication anytime. Upon arrival, your driver will assist you with ticket arrangements (you pay on-site). For the Transfer Only package, the driver will wait for you at the parking lot while you explore the Great Wall at your own pace. For the Transfer + Guide package, your expert guide will accompany you to climb the wall, sharing fascinating historical stories behind the watchtowers and ramparts, and leave you free time for photos. After the Great Wall visit, meet your driver again and head to The Summer Palace — China’s largest and best-preserved imperial garden, famed for its elegant pavilions, serene lakes, and intricate landscapes. On arrival, the driver will help with on-site ticket purchase (you pay directly). With the guide option, your guide will lead you to the garden’s key spots, recounting tales of the Qing Dynasty and Empress Dowager Cixi’s life here; without a guide, you can wander the scenic paths and lakeside at your leisure, with the driver waiting in the parking lot. Once the tour concludes, your driver will take you back to your hotel, wrapping up your 8–9 hour hassle-free journey.
